Lost cause

Interesting results for something that was thought to be a lost cause [Lost Cause ]. Dreamt about using CuCl2 for process 3 as follows ... 

The reduction of catalysts warranted the additional stir time. 96 hours maybe excessive, I believe they were hoping it would turn green and the longerthey waited the more they thought it was a lost cause. Fortunately it worked out on the +++ side )"... 

The use of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as an SEC eluent has become popular for the analysis of polyesters and polyamides. Conventional PS/DVB-based SEC columns have been widely used for HFIP applications, although the relatively high polarity of HFIP has led to some practical difficulties (1) the SEC calibration curve can exhibit excessive curvature, (2) polydisperse samples can exhibit dislocations or shoulders on the peaks, and (3) low molecular weight resolution can be lost, causing additive/system peaks to coelute with the low molecular weight tail of the polymer distribution... 

The language used will be the Queen s English or that subset of it as approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). Where chemical names are concerned there are some lost causes, such as caustic soda, where little would be gained if those who clean factories called this substance sodium hydroxide. Arguably, the name caustic soda conveys more useful information. Similar lost causes are spirits of wine (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) and spirits of salts (hydrochloric acid). While lipid chemists may insist on referring to triacylglycerols many people in industry continue to refer to triglycerides. Similarly trivial names for fatty acids such as lauric will continue to be used. The principle in all of this is to use the proper name but to mention other names that are in common use.

Most of these articles need to be read with a certain degree of caution. The passage of time alone clouded many memories, and there is a distinct leitmotif of the Lost Cause in the painful but passionate assertions of their sacrifices and noble efforts to heal. No doubt their privations and struggles were many, but the realities and nature of those sacrifices often seem clouded in the mists of nostalgic reverence. These accounts can be clarified by carefully comparing the recollections (often published forty or even fifty years after the war) with the actual correspondence, casebooks, reports, and... 

The precursor analog is added aseptically, generally as a concentrated, aqueous solution that has been filter-stenlized, autoclaved, or prepared under aseptic conditions. However, if the compound is insoluble in water, it may be added in a small volume of organic solvent or even as a solid. This may cause the compound to precipitate as soon as it enters the aqueous medium but this does not make the experiment a lost cause. The compound may be sparingly soluble and may act in effect as a slow-release feed.

Degrades In the presence of light and heat. Plasticizer is lost causing shrinkage and distortion. CA has poor chemical resistance and is attacked by acids and concentrated alkalis producing corrosive acetic acid, which promotes autocatalysis. Hydrolytic breakdown accelerated by metals, particularly copper. Soluble in ketones and chlorinated solvents. 

Table 4 shows that the years of life lost caused by dust emissions in the construction phase is 2.7014 years according to the table above. The society s WTP value is RMB208, 000. 

He filed his dissent as he prepared to depart Los Alamos. Teller was not one to fight for lost causes. He might have stayed, but the fi rst team was leaving. His wife was expecting their second child. He packed his grand piano and moved to a professorship at the University of Chicago to do physics with Enrico Fermi For a few years he would find security in family and teaching and research. 

A good leader is one who is willing to listen. Nothing is more rewarding than to see someone who was considered a lost cause or less than average blossom just because someone took the time to listen. People need someone to listen to their problems and to help solve them. 

It seems the union contract only allowed a certain number of safety representatives and a certain amount of time for safety-related business. Some members of management were not interested in expanding the number of union safety representatives. These management members felt that the safety involvement was just another way for workers to get out of doing work. Some members of management were not interested in trying to turn Pete around. He was considered a lost cause, and accident prone. On the other hand, the union was not interested in allowing Pete to take over someone else s occupied spot, even temporarily. They had a full complement of union safety people. They were not about to unseat one of them so that Pete could take over, even temporarily. It seemed as if an impasse had been reached.
